THE REMEDY OF REASON rpIIK news from Washington, which, hap--- plly for the country, Isn't swept by the passlnu of unreason which nppeara te rule momentarily in the councils of the unions and the rail menageiR alike, indu-ntcs that Mr Harding nnd hts advisers In the Cabinet, in Congress, In the Commerce Commission and In the Hallway Laber Iieard show no disposition te be uncritically partisan. They knew, ns the union lenders nnd the railroad executives knew In their secret hearts, that grnerat denunciation nnd cnlls te battle nnd the partial tie-up of the transportation sys tem which that ort of thing would lend te could get us nowhere but into endless and bitter trouble. The terms of settlement Tecemmended by the President will have the undivided sup port of public opinion, and. that being the case, no man In his senses will dare te vlelnte or refuse fbem Out of eyery emer gency of this sort there Is a sane middle course, and since It Is the course that lies midway hetween the desires of extremists it Is the one safe for the vast majority. It Is felly te talk of emergency meter transport and volunteer railway crews, tis If se. h makeshifts were of any considerable practical value. Itallreiidlng Is a hlghl.v technical business in which amateurs are likely te cut a peer figure And meters can not cairv all the essential uintetlals of gen ernl industry in the required qimntitj. Moreover, the unions could net tie up the central lallway liue In the loosely organized shop crafts theie ate innumerable men qualified te operate loiemotlves who would jump at the chance te get the engineers' Jobs and their pay W S Lee and his associates knew this The) knew that j successful strike of the dimensions :hev describe would be in the end a disaster of the tlrst magnitude te all i.nlenlsm And similarly the railway mana gers are aware of the terrible risks nnd hardships that would be involved for their systems in a period of even partial idleness. The unions nnd the executives seem te hnve geno te the limit of mutual exnspern exnspern tien But that I no reason why the whole country should be plunged into misery.
